Members greg apocalypse Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 One popped up at my local shop for a bit under $600. Anyone know what these are going for used, anyone have any pictures? I want to confirm its legitimacy, not that I don't believe it's true. It is a really cool guitar.

This was the first run of the faded SG series, they also made a V with moon inlays. These are built better than the newer faded SGs. Most have an ebony board as opposed to whatever they use now. There was also more attention to detail in the fretwork. They went for $600 brand new about 6-7 years ago. See if you can talk em down... if not, it's a decent deal.

Members ENdtime Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 I believe he is referring to the Gothic SG with the crescent&moon inlay on the 12th fret. I have one.. They are good guitars. I have no complaints.. Terrible phone pic.. It shows nothing abou tthe guitar.. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Faded series had crescent moon inlays instead of dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yourguitarhero Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have a Faded V with cresent inlays on a dark board, think it is rosewood.They are genuine guitars. I like my V, it's pretty stripped down but it's a decent guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 But wasn't the Gothic series by epiphone? Or am I forgetting something? Nope. Its a Gibson.. Gibson made the Gothic V, SG, Les Paul and Explorer back in 2001-02 I think.. Standard Gibson specs with all black hardware, Ebony boards with that inlay on the 12th fret. And of course all black paint job.. It was kinda of a satin finish. BUt the more you use it, the more shine it gets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ComingApart Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm pretty sure that they still have ebony boards. At least on the Vs they do... The Faded's don't. Newer ones anyway, not sure about the Crescent inlay ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members anti-flag193 Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 I love my faded. Had it for almost 6 years I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranalli Posted January 14, 2009 Members Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Faded's don't.Newer ones anyway, not sure about the Crescent inlay ones. The original Fadeds did. They did switch them at some point and the quality seemed to have changed at that point too. The first line of fadeds were much like the Gothics except for the paint.

Members anti-flag193 Posted January 10, 2021 Members Share Posted January 10, 2021 Weird. I haven't been on here in almost 10 years I think. I sign on tonight and go to the amp forum and there's a few threads I posted on more than 10 years ago on the front page. Pretty weird. I still have the faded SG and it's still great after 18 years!

Members Mikeo Posted January 11, 2021 Members Share Posted January 11, 2021 Not crescent moon SG here, but I have 2 SG's. I think the oldest one is 40 years old now ( in the sought after Chainsaw case), and I have a SG Classic with P90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
